And for what it's worth, when people are offended by mere words I counter with "I'm offended by censorship", because I am. What is it about certain commonly-censored materials that makes them so special? Why can't a person just change the channel or read something else to avoid uncomfortable material? Also, why are people so much more likely to be angry about swear words (which cause no demonstrable harm), when things that do cause harm (like wars) are more-or-less tolerated silently? Makes you wonder.
But there's no reason why flavoursome language can't be used to get across the developer's feelings about how fucking awful the shit piece of code they've just had to kludge something into was, and how much they're looking forward to clearing it up in a later release.
